LETRA 'GOTTA KNOCK A LITTLE HARDER'

Happiness is just a word to meand it might have meant a thing or twoif i'd known the differenceEmptiness, a lonely parodyand my life, another smokin' guna sign of my indifferenceAlways keepin' safe insidewhere no one ever had a chanceto penetrate a break inLet me tell you some have triedbut i would slam the door so tightthat they could never get inKept my cool under lock and keyand i never shed a tearanother sign of my condidtionFear of love or bitter vanitythat kept me on the runthe main events at my confessionI kept a chain upon my doorthat would shake the shame of caininto a blind submissionThe burning ghost without a namewas calling all the samebut i wouldn't listenThe longer i'd stallthe further i'd crawlthe further i'd crawlthe harder i'd falli was crawlin' into the fireThe more that i sawthe further i'd fallthe further i'd fallthe lower i'd crawli kept fallin' into the fireinto the fireinto the fireSuddenly it occurred to methe reason for the run and hidehad totaled my existnceEverything left on the other sidecould never be much worse that thisbut could i go the distanceI faced the door and all my shametearin' off each piece of chainuntil they all were brokenBut no matter how i triedthe other side was licked so tightthat door it wouldn't openGave it all that i gotand started to knockshouted for someoneto open the locki just gotta get through the doorAnd the more that i knockedthe hotter i gotthe hotter i gotthe harder i'd knocki just gotta break through the doorGotta knock a little hardergotta knock a little hardergotta knock a little harderbreak through the door
